The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Oretlius mapping software

Hi!
I would be interested to learn of forum members' experience of using Ortelius mapping software for Mac OS X Leopard.
I'd be interested in particular to see examples of maps drawn using this product.
Your help and support is much appreciated.
Many thanks.

I don't think anyone here has tried it. But we have the company representative as a member here - drjill - which you can look up in the members section and see what she has been posted about it so far. It looks like a really neat bit of software - personally I don't use a Mac but there must be people out there that have tried it.
